implement a parametrized "Show All Post in Last X Days" webservice

Post by swagfag » 13 Dec 2022, 19:16

something akin to

Code: Select all

https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/search.php?search_id=newposts
except i can give it a day count or a date range or what have you and the backend doesnt look into every post but lists threads according to the specified timestamps, eg:

Code: Select all

https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/search.php?search_id=between&startdate=<timestamp>&enddate=<other timestamp>


why is this needed? because
  1. losing all threads because u clicked New Posts twice gets real boring real fast
  2. the existing Advanced Search is about on the level of an emasculated eunuch in terms of actual searching capabilities
    it doesnt for whatever reasons enumerate all threads despite having targeted every single subforum
    and u can apparently still use it to DDOS the forum in 2 clicks, see viewtopic.php?f=3&t=98884
